[ILUG] Building Custom RPM Packages

[Fintan Ryan]

Evenin,

I have to build an rpm here for some internal tools that were moving onto a 
server, all web based with a database back end.
Anyway I'm doing the following

rpm -ba /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/emg-bugtrack.spec

which runs fine, but only creates a src rpm.
All the install does is just move copy a set of files to a directory (I've 
used /tmp/test for the example) and do a chown on them.
I've read the rpm howto on rpm.org, and I can't figure out what I'm doing 
wrong (but this may have more to do with a hangover than anything else), 
any suggestions?, should I be using install?

The spec file is below, and before someone points out that the install is 
basically a shell script, yes I know, it will end up in a makefile.
